Respondent: Mrs Angela Kinzett

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

I object to the amount of housing in this area. I understand that housing is required and that the government sets targets. However, areas along the south coast are only able to expand to the north side of towns and should therefore have reduced quotas. Green fields which identify the area are being lost to estate after estate. The shopping areas of Hailsham, Bexhill and Sidley are in need of significant regeneration to promote town living and in the case of Bexhill to promote more tourism . There seems to be little regard for areas of deprivation, for people who want to live in the countryside or for farmers. Farm land is being gobbled up, youngsters of today are more familiar with food from takeaways than food from farms. Developers are making money because they have no regard for the quality of life in areas they propose for development. Is consultation with the local population tokenism? So many people say, 'It's a done deal! I hope not.
